A high performance data path for performing XOR on the fly. A first memory is connected to a first bus and a second memory is connected to a second bus selectively coupled to the first bus. Logic for performing an XOR can be switched into connection with the first and second bus for XORing data in a buffer with the data passed from one of the memories to the other memory. The result is replaced into the buffer to permit successive XORing. When reading from an interrelated group of disks such as a RAID 3 group the data path , permits an N-1 and go mode in which a read does not wait for data from the last disk to retrieve its data sector. If the last disk contains data (as opposed to …

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 8, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 8, 2017.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
